Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I can definitely understand peoples’ issues with it being consumed, especially in a political context, but how do yall feel about “weed”? I won’t hide my feelings, I am very much pro-weed, it’s not great that I started in my mid-teens but in my area it’s FAR from uncommon. I don’t smoke daily or anything, I’m not addicted to it (people say it’s non-habit forming but any drug can be addictive with enough frequent usage) but I do smoke and dab w/ friends often. That’s not why I believe in legalization tho, my main thing is you shouldn’t make a naturally occurring plant an illegal substance. I’d point to the DEA’s destructive (legal) burning of thousands of naturally occurring marijuana plants found in nature; This seems eco-fascist to me and to deny the uses of hemp as a production material seems dogmatic to me. The USSR used hemp for industrial purposes during the war and it helped in a major way. I’m sure most of us are familiar with the badge given for Hemp growers. If you have any criticisms, I’m more than open to it, but I feel that marijuana won’t be easy to get rid of in future society and would probably be put to use in different more productive ways.

It's actually far less harmful cause those things will kill you, and cannabis can't.

Ya, I see alcohol as so much more harmful than weed, growing up with an alcoholic parent.

edit: Also the US government historically and still does use alcohol to wreck Indian communities.

Exactly! There’s a reason the movie “Leaving Las Vegas” didn’t feature Nicolas Cage smoking copious amounts of weed, it’s because that would just make you passout

unless operating heavy machinery/driving while intoxicated obviously, and some respiratory if smoking combusted matter, but yea otherwise wont really kill you.

Yeah by itself, you can't overdose on cannabis. There are other, much safer methods of consumption than combustion. I actually have a dry herb vaporizer myself.

I picked up a tinymight 2 not too long ago and a water pipe adapter for it. I love this thing and the best part is my lungs legitimately feel better now.

What are you running?
